A chemistry prof at Vanderbilt University named Dr. Breckenridge introduced me to the natural law as a freshman engineering student in 1947.

He lectured that the Periodic Table of the Elements helped explain the orderliness of the universe. He also said that the table was not especially aligned with religion, but it did help to explain the biblical story of creation.

He went on to explain that as science expanded, the natural law appeared to define a path to learning and explaining all the vast fields of just how things were put together. He also explained that it was not possible to violate the natural law that had been set in motion in the universe.

This would explain that same sex marriage was not in accord with the natural law. Marriage of the female and male was key to reproduction. Male-male and female-female relations could not reproduce naturally.

Just a thought to ponder for all who believe in the natural law.

It would appear that the founders of this great nation had some idea of the natural law and its place in society.
